So, Julia and I said goodbye to our redhead today, as he moves into a new section of his life in China. We'll miss him and we can't wait to hear about all his adventures.
Unfortunately, as we headed away from the airport, another Austin driver was not focused and rear ended us, going about 45 mph. We're okay -- super sore, Julia is bruised up from her fight with the air bag, and tomorrow's going to suck. The car? Not so much with the okayness. I will miss the Nitro. It was the first car Julia and I bought together (her name is Betty), and I love it. I've driven it to Canada, to New Jersey, to Maine, to New Orleans, Kentucky, Arkansas and to the ranch a hundred times.
*sighs*
The best part is that *everyone* walked away (and given that the little gal that fell asleep behind the wheel hit us and a semi, that's an incredible blessing).
Cars are replacable, Julias are not.
Texan to the bone and an unrepentant Daddy's Girl, BA Tortuga spends her days with her basset hounds and her beloved wife, texting her sisters, and eating Mexican food. When she's not doing that, she's writing. She spends her days off watching rodeo, knitting and surfing Pinterest in the name of research. BA's personal saviors include her wife, Julia Talbot, her best friend, Sean Michael, and coffee. Lots of coffee. Really good coffee.

Oh crap! I'm so glad you both are okay!
Be sure to check one another out carefully today, just to be sure.
Hugs,

So true! You can't replace Julia's or BA's and either would be devastated without the other. Love you guys
Wow so glad all of you are okay! Sorry about the car, but yes Julias are not replaceable and neither are you!
Sending you lots of love and healing thoughts!
So glad you are all ok.....accidents suck, but you hit the nail on the head, cause Julia's and BA's are NOT replaceable.
